Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of engineering machinery technology, and in particular to an axle for a wide-body vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] The axle is one of the core components of a wheeled vehicle. It is connected to the chassis via the suspension, and wheels are mounted at both ends of the axle to bear the vehicle's load and maintain its normal movement on the road. Mining dump trucks operate under harsh conditions, with a high proportion of heavy-load uphill and downhill operations on steep slopes, often accompanied by high-frequency impact alternating loads. This places high demands on the axle's load-bearing capacity and welding quality. In addition, the road conditions in mining areas are poor, and road maintenance is not timely, requiring dump trucks to have high passability. As the core of the vehicle chassis, the axle's ground clearance largely represents the vehicle's passability.

[0003] Vehicle axles can be broadly categorized by function into steering axles and drive axles. In addition to being a necessary steering mechanism, the steering axle of a mining dump truck also bears a certain proportion of the load. Taking a wide-body off-highway dump truck (hereinafter referred to as "wide-body truck") as an example, it typically bears 15%-25% of the load. The axle housing of wide-body truck steering axles is mostly an integral welded structure. Existing welded axles mainly consist of the front axle body, thrust rod seat, and suspension cylinder seat. The front axle body is composed of several parts welded together, including side plates, upper and lower flanges, left and right guard plates, an upper boss, and a lower boss. The cross-section is rectangular. The upper and lower flanges are bent after being machined with master pin holes. During welding, the lower flange is usually fixed first, then the side plates and left and right guard plates are welded to the lower flange in sequence, followed by the upper flange, and finally the upper and lower bosses. Therefore, the main body of existing welded axle structures is made of sheet metal through cutting and bending, resulting in lower costs. However, this also leads to lower overall axle housing strength and a tendency for the welds of the left and right guard plates to crack.

[0004] While existing forged axle structures largely avoid the problem of insufficient axle strength and reduce axle weight, forged axle structures are not only expensive to process but also have mold costs, which seriously restricts the promotion and use of forged axle structures in the mining truck industry. Summary of the Invention

[0030] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, the wide-body vehicle's axle includes a first kingpin seat 111, a second kingpin seat 112, an upper wing plate 113, a lower wing plate 114, and two side plates 115. The first kingpin seat 111 includes two opposing first side plates 1112, and the second kingpin seat 112 includes two opposing second side plates 1122. The two side plates 115 are opposite to each other, with one end of each side plate 115 fixedly connected to each first side plate 1112 and the other end of each side plate 115 fixedly connected to each second side plate 1122. The first kingpin seat 111 includes a first upper boss 1113 and a first lower boss 1114 opposite to each other. The pin seat 112 includes a second upper boss 1123 and a second lower boss disposed opposite to each other. An upper wing plate 113 is fixedly connected between the first upper boss 1113 and the second upper boss 1123. The first upper boss 1113 and the second upper boss 1123 are used for mounting and welding the upper wing plate 113. A lower wing plate 114 is fixedly connected between the first lower boss 1114 and the second lower boss. The first lower boss 1114 and the second lower boss are used for mounting and welding the lower wing plate 114. The first master pin seat 111, the second master pin seat 112, the upper wing plate 113, the lower wing plate 114, and the two side plates 115 form the axle body 11. The first master pin seat 111 has a first pin hole 104, and the second master pin seat 112 has a second pin hole 105. The first pin hole 104 and the second pin hole 105 are used for mounting the vehicle's master pin. In this embodiment, the first master pin seat 111 and the second master pin seat 112 are cast integral structures, not welded structures. The first master pin seat 111 also includes a first seat body 1111, a first side wing 1112, a first upper boss 1113, and a first lower boss 1114, which are respectively fixedly connected to the first seat body 1111. A first pin hole 104 is provided through the first upper boss 1113, the first seat body 1111, and the first lower boss 1114. The second master pin seat 112 also includes a second seat body, a second side wing 1122, a second upper boss 1123, and a second lower boss, which are respectively fixedly connected to the second seat body. A second pin hole 105 is provided through the second upper boss 1123, the second seat body, and the second lower boss. It can be understood that the first seat body 1111, the first side wing 1112, the first upper boss 1113, and the first lower boss 1114 are formed by casting to form the first master pin seat 111, and the second seat body, the second side wing 1122, the second upper boss 1123, and the second lower boss are formed by casting to form the second master pin seat 112. The first kingpin seat 111, the second kingpin seat 112, the upper flange 113, the lower flange 114, and the two side plates 115 are all fixed by welding. Therefore, the first kingpin seat 111 and the second kingpin seat 112, which are integrally cast, are the main load-bearing positions of the axle. Compared with the welded structure of traditional axles, they have higher strength and greater reliability.

[0031] The axle of the present invention is provided with a first kingpin seat 111 and a second kingpin seat 112. The upper wing plate 113, the lower wing plate 114 and the two side plates 115 are respectively fixedly connected between the first kingpin seat 111 and the second kingpin seat 112 to form a complete axle body 11. It not only has a simple structure, reduces the weight of the axle, and increases the strength of the axle, but also takes into account the convenience of production and processing, reduces the production difficulty and production cost. It has high load-bearing capacity and high reliability. The overall structure and function are more perfect and it is suitable for harsh working environments such as heavy-duty uphill and downhill slopes and rugged roads in mines.

[0032] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the first side wing 1112 has a first crescent-shaped opening 101 at one end near the side plate 115, and the side plate 115 has a first crescent-shaped portion at one end that mates with the first side wing 1112. The first crescent-shaped opening 101 and the first crescent-shaped portion are fixedly connected. The second side wing 1122 has a second crescent-shaped opening at one end near the side plate 115, and the side plate 115 has a second crescent-shaped portion at one end that mates with the second side wing 1122. The second crescent-shaped opening and the second crescent-shaped portion are fixedly connected. The first crescent-shaped opening 101 and the first crescent-shaped portion, and the second crescent-shaped opening and the second crescent-shaped portion enable the weld splicing to be more reasonable and the welding strength to be more reliable. The first seat body 1111 of the first kingpin seat 111 and the second seat body of the second kingpin seat 112 replace the left and right guard plates of the traditional axle, which greatly reduces the production difficulty and increases the strength of the axle body 11.

[0033] Preferably, the upper wing plate 113 includes a first connecting plate 1131, a second connecting plate 1132, and a third connecting plate 1133 connected in sequence. A first included angle α is formed between the first connecting plate 1131 and the second connecting plate 1132, with the first included angle α being 120°~170°. A second included angle b is formed between the second connecting plate 1132 and the third connecting plate 1133, with the second included angle b being 120°~170°. The structures at both ends of the upper wing plate 113 are symmetrically arranged. The lower wing plate 114 includes a fourth connecting plate, a fifth connecting plate, and a sixth connecting plate connected in sequence. A third included angle c is formed between the fourth connecting plate and the fifth connecting plate, with the third included angle c being 120°~170°. A fourth included angle d is formed between the fifth connecting plate and the sixth connecting plate, with the fourth included angle d being 120°~170°. The structures at both ends of the lower wing plate 114 are symmetrically arranged. In this embodiment, the 120°~170° is preferably 120°, 130°, 140°, 150°, 160° or 170°, etc. The setting of the first included angle a, the second included angle b, the third included angle c and the fourth included angle d can increase the ground clearance of the axle, so that the axle body 11 can maximize the ground clearance of the axle while having high load-bearing capacity and high reliability. In addition, by setting different chamfers, slopes and depths on the first master pin seat 111 and the second master pin seat 112, the welding of the axle body 11 is simpler and more reasonable, thereby enhancing the welding strength of the axle body 11. For example, the chamfer structure of the first seat 1111, the chamfer structure of the second seat, the tilt angle of the first side wing 1112, the tilt angle of the second side wing 1122, the depth of the first pin hole 104 and the depth of the second pin hole 105, etc.

[0034] Preferably, the first side wing 1112 is fixedly connected to the first limiting block 116, and the second side wing 1122 is fixedly connected to the second limiting block 117. The first limiting block 116 and the second limiting block 117 are used to limit the steering structure of the axle.

[0035] Please continue to refer to this. Figures 1 to 3 The axle of the wide-body vehicle also includes a first crescent block 121 and a second crescent block 122. The first crescent block 121 and the second crescent block 122 are respectively fixedly connected to the upper wing plate 113. The first crescent block 121 is located at one end of the upper wing plate 113 near the first kingpin seat 111, and the second crescent block 122 is located at one end of the upper wing plate 113 near the second kingpin seat 112. The first crescent block 121 and the second crescent block 122 are used to enhance the local structural strength.

[0036] like Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, the axle of the wide-body vehicle also includes a steering cylinder seat 13, which is fixedly connected to the side plate 115 and provides an installation position for the vehicle's steering cylinder. The steering cylinder seat 13 includes a base plate 131, a first fixing plate 132, a second fixing plate 133, a first reinforcing plate 134, and a threaded seat 135. The first fixing plate 132 and the second fixing plate 133 are arranged opposite to each other and fixedly connected to the base plate 131. The first reinforcing plate 134 is fixedly connected between the first fixing plate 132 and the second fixing plate 133 for positioning and increasing structural strength. The base plate 131 is fixedly connected to the side plate 115, so that the first fixing plate 132 and the second fixing plate 133 are fixedly connected to the side plate 115 of the axle body 11 through the base plate 131. The base plate 131 can increase the welding area between the steering cylinder seat 13 and the side plate 115 and increase structural strength. The threaded seat 135 is fixedly connected to the first fixing plate 132 and is used to install and limit the first pin of the steering cylinder seat 13. In this embodiment, the threaded seat 135 is welded to the first fixed plate 132. The steering cylinder seat 13 is provided with a first shaft hole, which passes through the first fixed plate 132 and the second fixed plate 133. The first pin is engaged with the first shaft hole for mounting the steering cylinder. The threaded seat 135 is provided with a first slot, and the limiting part of the first pin is provided in the first slot to achieve radial and axial limiting of the first pin. The base plate 131 can be a single plate structure, which can further increase the welding area between the steering cylinder seat 13 and the side plate 115 to increase the welding strength. The base plate 131 can also be two separate plates, which can further reduce the weight of the axle.

[0037] like Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, the axle of the wide-body vehicle includes two suspension cylinder supports 14 and two longitudinal push rod supports 15. Each suspension cylinder support 14 is fixedly connected to the axle body 11, that is, each suspension cylinder support 14 is welded to the upper flange 113. The suspension cylinder supports 14 are used to provide installation positions for the vehicle's lifting cylinders and lateral push rods. Each longitudinal push rod support 15 is arranged opposite to the steering cylinder seat 13. One end of each longitudinal push rod support 15 is fixedly connected to each suspension cylinder support 14, and the other end of each longitudinal push rod support 15 is fixedly connected to a side flange 115 to increase the structural strength and structural stability of the longitudinal push rod support 15.

[0038] like Figure 5As shown, the suspension cylinder support 14 includes a first upright plate 141, a second upright plate 142, a second reinforcing plate 143, and a first cover plate 144. The first upright plate 141 and the second upright plate 142 are arranged opposite to each other. The second reinforcing plate 143 is fixedly connected between the first upright plate 141 and the second upright plate 142, and is used to fix the first upright plate 141 and the second upright plate 142 and increase the structural strength of the suspension cylinder support 14. The suspension cylinder support 14 is provided with at least two second shaft holes 106, which are provided through the first upright plate 141 and the second upright plate 142. The second pin 145 cooperates with the second shaft holes 106 for installing the suspension cylinder, push rod, etc. The first cover plate 143... 4. Fixedly connected to the first upright plate 141, the first cover plate 144 is provided with a first groove 103, and the limiting part of the second pin 145 is provided in the first groove 103 for radial and axial limiting of the second pin 145. The first cover plate 144 is installed on the first upright plate 141 by bolts to limit the rotation and axial movement of the pin and avoid the possibility of the bolt being cut off. The second pin 145 is directly installed on the axle and is used to fix the vehicle's cylinder and push rod, etc. Depending on the fixing structure, the second pin 145 has different diameters and lengths, but it can be understood that the second pin 145 is used for installation and fixing on the suspension cylinder support 14. In this embodiment, the two ends of the first upright plate 141 are processed to form a bent structure, referred to as the first bent portion 1411, which is used to improve the welding thermal stress zone. The thickness of the first bent portion 1411 is less than the thickness of the first upright plate 141, which facilitates grinding into a dovetail shape after welding and increases the fatigue life of the weld. The two ends of the second upright plate 142 are processed to form a bent structure, referred to as the second bent portion 1421, which is used to improve the welding thermal stress zone. The thickness of the second bent portion 1421 is less than the thickness of the second upright plate 142, which facilitates grinding into a dovetail shape after welding and increases the fatigue life of the weld. In addition, the suspension cylinder seat also includes multiple mounting plates. The mounting plates are annular plates, which are fixedly connected to the two sides of the first upright plate 141 and the second upright plate 142. The mounting plates are disposed at the second shaft hole 106 and other through holes of the suspension cylinder support 14. The mounting plates are used to raise the structure to facilitate the installation of other parts of the vehicle.

[0039] It is understandable that the structure of the longitudinal push rod support 15 is the same as or roughly the same as the structure of the suspension cylinder support 14, and will not be described in detail here.

[0040] The above are merely specific embodiments of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be determined by the appended claims.
